AN ALARMING SITUATION
Lv Revolutionary Cheers Are Heard on
All Sides.?The Outbreak Follows
Months of Discontent Over the
HI^h Cost of Living. Which Bears
Heavy on the Poorer Classes.
A critical situation has aiisen in
Vienna, Austria, owing primarily to
j tbe high price of the necessaries of
i life.
i w
Riots broke out Monday, and several
persons were killed, or wounded.
Troops fired on the mob which had
f erected barricades in the streets.
There was a fierce exchange of bullets,
and the soldiers were pelted
with all sorts of missiles. Following
a huge Socialist demonstration
Monday afternoon outside the Rathhaus,
held to protest against the high
^ price of food, it became necessary to
call out troops to disperse the rioters.
0 In the early clashes fifty of the
rioters were wounded and 100 were
- arrested. Fifty thousand persons
were present at the demonstration,
and fiery speeches were made, de;
* manding that the government' permit
the importation of foreign meat

the conditions which have resulted
from the prohibitory increase in the
price of food products. After the
close of the meeting a large procession
marched to the parliament
buildings, cheering for revolution
and Portugal.
Revolvers were fired In the air,
and then the mob began stone throwing.
The windows of many public
and private buildings, restaurants
and tram cars and street lamps were
smashed. Finally a squadron of dragoons
and a detatchment of infantry
appeared on the scene. They charged
the rioters and dispersed them.
The mobs reassembled, however,
g in the suburbs, which are occupied
by the working class, where they
y wrecked much property. The troops
were retained throughout the day
guarding the imperial palace and government
buildings and holding opproaches
to the inner city.
Toward evening the rioting in the
Ottakring quarter became more furious.
The mob demolished all the
street lamps in the main thoroughr
fare, plunging the streets into darkness.
They erected barricades and
hurled missiles of various kinds on
the soldiers from the upper windows
of houses. The order was at length
given to the troops to fire. At the
first volley many rioters fell, either
^killed or wounded
Several of the soldiers and policemen
were injured, and 100 more of
0 those engaged in the conflict were
placed under arrest. The agitation
is the culmination of months of bitter
discontent over the steady increase
of the cost of living, and unless
parliament takes action it is
feared that the developments of the
I disturbances will be very serious.
The rioting was of a most deter^
mined and savage character. Although
an opposite account states
that only one person was killed by a
bayonet thrust and several wounded
slightly, it is believed the casualties
are much higher.
The appearance of the troops in^
tensifled the wrath of the rioters,
who shouted: "We want no military!
We want bread!"
Stone throwing became incessant
and clashes between the police and
the mob, with cavalry charges, continued
throughout the afternoon.
Besides smashing windows in all
directions, the mob completely demolished
a cafe. At the height of
the disorder the Socialists leader,
David, tried to calm the crowd, but
an infuriated mob set upon him and
k beat him into unconsciousness. He
was removed to a hospital.
All available cavalry were brought
cut to line the streets and protect the
public buildings. j
l I*10 r,0t!r?g In the Ottakrlng quartor
was still more serious. Tramcars
were overturned and shops
wrecked. The mob forced its way into
a school house and dragged forth
all the furniture into the street and
burned it. The troops were obliged
twice to fire into the crowd and many
I rioters fell bleeding to the ground.
It was near midnight before a semblance
of order was restored. There
are fears of a renewal of the riot.

For.
Mr. Taft appears to rely for tariff ,
revision upon his tariff board. This
is a commission selected for the purpose
of furnishing congress with accurate
informatian upon which it
may base future action. Mr. Taft,
however, does not make clear wnai
basis he has for believing that congress
will make use of this information.
On previous occasions a republican
congress has had uncontradicted
facts before it relating to
pending schedules, and utterly ignored
them in fixing the duties.
Take the cotton bagging item, for
example. Before the ways and means
committee at the 1909 hearing the
fact was adduced that the manufacture
of this necessity of the cotton
planter is controlled entirely by three
companies that have an egreement
among themselves whereby all competition
is eliminated between them
and prices are fixed. This information
was before congress, uncontradicted,
but it was ignored.
The rate of duty on this bagging,
which is used for covering baled
cotton, is six-tenths of a cent a
tinnnrft vnrd. which is 15 ner cent.
ad valorem. This rate is the same as
was contained in the Dingley law.
Each year the cotton planters of the
country use an average of 150,000,000
square yards, of which amount
all but 1 0,000,000 square yards is
made by the three big concerns in
America.
The total duty collected on this
material in 1910 was $99,000 an
insignificant sum when compared
with the fact that it is the very instrument
by which the bagging takes
from the cotton planters over a half
million dollars a year. To state it
in other words by reason of a tariff
on cotton bagging the planters are
compelled to pay $616,000 more per
year than would otherwise be the
case, of which sum the government
takes- approximately $100,000 and
permits the bagging trust to collect
$516,000.
A little history of this schedule also
gives the interesting information
that when it first made its appearance
in the list of import duties it was
higher than the facts adduced by
the ways and means committee of
that session, the Forty-eight congress,
justified. The first request

WttB inciciicu UJ <?. mm. tiuuivu
shall who stated a duty of 15 per
cent ad valorem would be sufficient
and would furnish all the protection
needed for it as an infant industry.
Yet the McKinley bill shows a tariff
of 1.6 cents per square yard, which
was then an ad valorem duty of 3 2
per cent.
That industry, under the rates
that have prevailed, has developed
into an arrogant and burdensome
trust. It will be recalled that the
original plea for protective duties
was that by shutting out the foreign
manufacturer the home manufacturers
could develop to the point where
competition between them would
make it of no moment what the duty
was, since that competition would fix
the price at as low a point as could
be possible
A beautiful little bunco game that
was. Behind the tariff wall it was
proposed to erect?and which was
erected?home industries were to
grow and expand, furnishing American
labor a living wage and a steady
job and the American farmer a home
market wherein he could sell high
and buy low. The industries did develop,
but within a short time after
they reached the point where competition
between them had a tendency
to lower prices, they were combined
into trusts ,a system under which
they could boost prices to the full
extent of the tariff barrier reared
against the foreigner. The cotton
bagging industry is one of these, yet
the tariff remains the same.
The cotton planter is also at the
mercy of the steel trust by reason Of
a tplally unnecesssary tariff on cot J^e#
the metal bands around r

bales. Those are made principally
by the Carnegie and the Pittsburg
steel companies, which fix the price.
The 3-10 of a cent duty, figured on
the amount used last year, was $324,000,
which represents are excess price
paid over what would have been paid
if they had been free, as under the
Wilson bill. Of this artificial advance
in cost, the government got
$1,498 in the shape of revenue upon
imports, while the remainder was
pocked by the steel trust. Of what
avail will these facts be with the
republican senators elected by a campaign
fund to which the steel trust
was a heavy contributor?

THE CZAR SAW HIM SHOT
The Assassination Took l'lace at a
Theatre Thursday Evening of East
Week,?Diniitri Ilogroff, a Young
Man, Fired the Fatal Shot in the
Presence of Thousands.
The Russian premier, Peter A.
Stolypin, died Monday night from
bullet wounds received at the hands
of Dimitri Bogroff, an assassin, during
a gala performance at the municipal
theatre Thursday evening of
last week at Kiev, Russia.
Almost until the last the premier
was conscious and for half an hour
during the early part of the evening
his wife alone was at his bedside.
Frequently he called" Give me the
Tako If nwnv. Oiv? me a
IV V VV A I JI V M ?. -M.. . ? ^
ced pencil. Lift me. Light up."
Premature reports of the premier's
death were current for hours before
it occurred. Several missions and
embassies were misled by the reports
and notified their governments. The
authorities at first decided to conceal
the news of the preimer's death
until morning fearing anti-Jewish
outbreaks. This was found to be impossible
and after the announcement
was made all the attention of the
authorties was centred in the protection
of the Jews.
Residents of the Jewish community
were panic stricken and begged for
protection and 30,000 troops were
poured into Kiey to prevent excesses.
\f. Kokovosoff, minister of finance,
who was appointed acting premier
after M. Stolypin was shot, has sent
a premtory circular to the various
governors on the maintenance of order.
Gov. Gen. Trepoff has issued a pub
lie notice that disorders will not be
tolerated and stringent regulations
are published forbidding the carrying
of arms. It is officially announced
that the manoeuvers are ended
and that the troops are returning to
Kiev. Outgoing trains are crowded
and double trains and extra trains
are leaving Kiev every hour. Hundreds
of well-to-do Jews are departing
from Kiev.
Peter A. Stolypin was a tall, handsome
man of 55 years. His short
cropped hair was gray, but his beard
was dark. He has been described
generally as an administrator of ability.
He was neither a bureaucrat or
a reactionary in the ordinary sense
of those terms and has been said to
have been imbued with Liberalism,
but determined to put down the revolutionary
movements at any cost.
As governor of Saratov he took
such steps against the terrorist and
Liberals alike as won him the detestation
of the advanced parties, and

was appointed premier by imperial
ukase on July 22, 1900, and stamped
out the revolution that had been
growing to threatening propotions
during the premeirship of M. Whitte
and which Witte's successor, M. Goremykin,
had not been able to control.
Stolypin's life was attempted In
August of that year when a bomb
that killed 60 persons was exploded
at his home. The minister escaped
with slight injuries, but two of his
children were wounded. As minis-1

made his first speech before that body
he was greeted with cries of "murderer."
The opposition's hatred of M. Stolypin
reached a crisis last March,
when, the upper chamber of the duma
having rejected his bill for the
establishment Zenistvo or local government
in the western provinces the
premier resigned, and only consented
lo resume office when the emperor agreed
to disolve the duma and promulgate
the measure under the authority
of the fundamental laws.

Stole Sandwiches That Had Arsenic
In Them for Hats.
Destitute and hungry, William
Murphy entered a grocery store on
Tuesday night at San Francisco, Cal.,
hoping to purloin something to eat.
The proprietor was called to wait on
a customer and Murphy seized the
opportunity to gobble two sandwiches
he found on the counter. He was
seized with convulsions a few minutes
later and was taken to the
emjergjency hospital, where it was
found he was suffering from arsenic
poisoning. The sandwiches he had
eaten had been prepared to bait a
rat trap. Murphy probably will recover.

The State says it is rumored that
James Norton, former comptroller
general and for several years member
of the general assembly, would
be appointed commissioner of agriculture,
commerce and industries to
succeed E. J. Watson at the expiration
of Mr. Watson's term in March.
The appointment is in the hands of

HOW IT LOOKS TO HIM |
AN ENGLISH WRITER THINKS
PEOPLE WANT CHANGE. '
And That Woodrow Wilson is the
Man to Lead Them to Victory in '
Its Coming Campaign.
The Fortnightly Review, the leading
review of London has an article *
in the August number just received
here under the caption "Some talks
with Roosevelt." by Sidney Brooks,
who spent some time in the United
States and visited all sections of the
country in an effort to guage the political
situation as it stands today and
as to the trend of the immediate future.
In the course of the article,
'Mr. Brooks writes:
The Democrats, so far as I can
judge, are right if feeling that the
tide is at last with them, and that
only some abnormal development can
forestall a Democratic victory in
1912. The question, therefore, of
the candidate they put forward has
an importance that it has lacked for
the past twelve years; and that nat?
urally, when the choice of a standard
bearer is regarded as an almost
tantamount to his election, there is
an extra keenness to secure the nomination.
Mr. Bryan feels that he ought to
have it, but he knows that he cannot
get it. At the same time his power
for obstruction at any rate, remains
considerable and any man whom he
i ?i-.iov lm v? n linrd flcllt
opemy uppuoco m.u.w
o win the convention. Such a man
is governor Harmon, of Ohio, an engaging
popular and successful governor,
but an ex-member of Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet and the very type ot
that straight laced more conservative
school that. Mr. Cleveland represented
and that Mr. Bryan has always
warred on implacably.
To compass the defeat of Governor
Harmon's candidacy may, I think, be
said for the moment to be the chief
aim of Mr. Bryan's political existence.
To do it he will have to espouse
the nomination of some other
leader; and there are at present only
two other men tn the democratic
ranks whom the average American
v.pacarH nc nrpsiflpn
can ut; uiuugm IU IVQU. u ?~
tial possibilities. One of these is
Mr. Champ Clarke, the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, who
is leading the party in congress with
unmistakable masterfulness and effect,
but whose reputation so far is
other congressional than national.
The other is Mr, Woodrow Wilson,
the ex-president of Princeton University,
who was elected last November

has worked hardly less than a revolution
in the polities of his state.
My view is that Mr. Wilson decidedly
is ahead of all of his competitors and
that his union of practicality, eloquence,
fearlessly, and a high dispassionate
and thoughtful sincerity
have not only profoundly impressed
the country, but mark him as a man
who is destined to lead his party out
of the wilderness. All present appearances
point to his adoption next year
as the democratic candidate.
Further along Mr. flrooks says
that "On pretty nearly every important
issue Mr. Roosevelt, I should
judge, is in closer sympathy with Mr.
Wilson than with Mr. Taft." However
he thinks party layolty will
keep Mr. Roosevelt in the Republican
ranks, hut adds:
Mr. Roosevelt's friends, however,
being less committed by past responsibilities,
are freer to do as they
think best; and in the event of Mr.

democratic nominee. I am convinced
that many thousands of Republicans
and among them, those who were and
are, and will remain Mr. Roosevelt's
most ardent followers, would vote
for him in preference to Mr. Taft,
even though the president himself
were to sacrifice his personal predilections
to his sense of party loyalty."
SLIPPED ON HANANNA PEEL.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., to

he slipped on a bananna peel which
was lying on the front car step, Fred
G. Pond is minus two fingers on his
right hand. He was in the act of
aligiiting from the car when his foot
slipped and he was thrown violently
to the pavement. He made an Ineffectual

reach fell short and the wheels of the
car passed over his hand, crushing
two fingers. At the hospital to which

to amputate the fingers.

rflE GOVERNOR'S RACE
Governor Illcas? Declares He Will
Run for Uunited States Senate If y
Senator Tillman Is Out of the

Race, Otherwise He Will Run for ll
Re-election. t
In view of the authorized statement
of former Congressman W. J. 0
Talbert to the effect that he would
be a candidate for the United States ?
Senate next summer against all comers,
which is generally understood
to mean that he will be a candidate
whether or not Senator Tillman runs,
there are a great many surmises as
to the next Senatorial race.
Governor Ulease has on several ocI
casions announced that he would be
a candidate to succeed himself as *
Governor, allowing the senior Senator
to succeed himself without opposition.
The announcement of Mr. 1
Talbert's candidacy, in arty event,
naturally brought up the question as
to Governor Hlease's attitude in case (
Senator Tillman for any reason
should not be a candidate to succeed
himself.
The News and Courier correspondent
was given the following state- (
ment from Governor Please, in reply
to the direct inquiry as to whether
nr 11 of he would be a candidate for
the United States Senate in case Senator
Tillman should not run:
"You may say that if Senator Tillman
is not in the race I shall be a
candidate for the United States Senate
next summer, standing upon my
record as Governor, and my record j
from the time I reached my majority j
until my election as Governor. If (
Senator Tillman desires to succeed (
himself I shall be a candidate for reelection
as Governor."
Governor Blease has just return- 1
ed from Cleveland, Ohio, where he
|
has been attending the Great Council
of the Improved Order of Red Men, 1
and where his speech, according to
the Associated Press dispatches, won
for Charleston the next meeting of
the Great Council. The Governor, 1
when asked ?or an expression as to
the candidacy of Chief Justice Jones
for Governor, said:
"If the race for Governor is be- ,
tween the present Chief Justice and ,
myself, I have only to say that the 1
people's Governor is the servant of |
the people, and it is for the people to ,
decide whom they will have. My
record will be before them. There ,
is in it nothing to hide, nor anything ,
that I would desire hidden. The
race is open to all who may desire ,
to enter, and the people are the j
judges. I am willing to rest my can- (
didacy with the people, who last ^
summer elected me to the position.
That it all that I have to say in re- j
